My doc wants to switch me from Ativan to clonazepam because the Ativan "runs out" during spots during the day before I take the next dose whereas clonazepam provides a more uniform coverage. I take 2mg of ativan 3 times a day. My doc wants to switch me to 2mg of clonazepam at night and 1mg during the day. He said to just make the switch in one day. He also said the molecule of the drugs are so close I shouldn't have much trouble with the switch.
I'm frankly afraid of alot rebound anxiety from the ativan... but the doc says the clonazepam will take of that.
Anyone else done a similar switch before and what happened? Hard? easy?Thanks
